Steps in Photosynthesis
--Sunlight Strikes Leaf;
--Chlorophyll captures light energy
--Cells use the energy to produce sugars and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide.
In the process of photosynthesis, plants use the energy in ____________ to make food.
Sunlight
How does grass use energy from the sun.
Autotroph; directly
How does a zebra use energy from the sun?
heterotroph; indirectly
How does a lion use energy from the sun?
heterotroph; indirectly
List two stages in the process of photosynthesis.
1. Capturing the sun's energy;
2. Producing sugars.
The green pigment in chloroplasts, called _________, absorbs light energy from the sun.
chlorophyll
Is the following sentence true or false? Besides the energy in sunlight, the cell needs water and carbon dioxide to make sugar.
true
What are stomata?
Stomata are small openings on the undersides of the leaves through which carbon dioxide enters the plant.
What are products of photosynthesis?
a. carbon dioxide
b. glucose
c. water*****
d. oxygen*******
Is the following true or false? Photosynthesis produces the carbon dioxide that most living things need to survive.
false
Write the chemical equation for the process of photosynthesis.
6 CO2 + 6 H20------
C6H12)6 = 6 )2
What word does the arrow in the chemical equation stand for?
yields
List the letter of each raw material of photosynthesis.
a. carbon dioxide***
b. glucose
c. water****
d. oxygen
List the letter that is true about the products of photosynthesis.
a. Plants cells use the sugar from food.******
b. some of the sugar is made into other compounds, such as cellulose.****
c. Some of the sugar is stored in the plant's cells for later use.*****
d. Extra sugar molecudes pass out of the plant through the stomata.
Fill in the blanks in the photosynthesis equation

ps
1. carbon
2. water -----
3. sugar
4. oxygen
What are the raw materials of photosynthesis?

ps
Carbon dioxide and water
Why is sunlight written above the arrow in the equation, rather than on either side of it?

ps
Because sunlight provides the energy for the reaction but is neither a raw material nor a product of the reaction.
Where does photosynthesis occur?

ps
In the chloroplasts of plants and some other organisms, such as algae and some bacteria.
Fill in the blank:
The process by which a cell captures the energy in sunlight and uses it to make food is called_____________

ps
photosynthesis
_____________ are colored chemical compounds that absorb light.

ps
Pigments
The main pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants is __________________.

ps
chlorophyll
__________________ are small openings on the undersides of leaves through which carbon dioxide enters a plant.

ps
stomata
An organism that makes its own food is a(n) ________________.

ps
autotroph
A(n) ________________ is an organism that cannot makes its own food.

ps
heterotroph
What is respiration?


r
Respiration is breathing in oxygen by an organism because oxygen is needed by cells.
What happens during respiration?


r
Cells break down simple food molecules such as sugar and release the energy they contain.
Cells store energy in the form of __________________.


r
carbohydrates
How do cells "withdraw" energy?


r
Cells break down carbohydrates to get energy.
Is the following true or false? Respiration that takes place inside of cells is the same as breathing air in and out of lungs.
False
What are the raw materials of respiration?
sugar, oxygen
What are the products of respiration?
carbon dioxide, water, energy
What is the first stage of respiration.
Takes place in the cytoplasm;
Glucose molecules are broken down
What is the second stage of respiration?
Takes place in the mitochondria;
oxygen is involved
What takes place in both the first and second stages of respiration.
Energy is released
What is fermentation?


r
Fermentation is an energy-releasing process that does not require oxyten.
Is the following true or false?
Feermentation releases more energy than respiration. False
List two types of fermentation and tell were each takes place.

r
Alcoholic fermentation occurs in yeast.
Lactic-acid fermentation occudr in muscle cells in the body.
What are the raw materials of respiration?
glucose
carbon dioxide
What are the products of respiration?
oxygen
water
energy
Where in the cell doees the first stage of respiration take place?
In the cytoplasm
where in the celll does the second stage of respiration take place?
In the mitochondria.
How does fermentation differ from respiration?
Fermentation does not require oxygen, while respiration does.
It produces less energy than respiration.
Which type of fermentation occurs in yeast? (remember Monkey bread)

r
Alcoholic fermentation
Which type of fermentation sometimes occurs in human muscle cells?
lactic-acid feermentation
True or false:
The process by which cells "withdraw" energy from glucose is called "photosynthesis."
False.
It is called respiration
True or false
"Respiration" provides energy for cells without using oxygen.
False.
Fermentation
What are the steps in photosynthesis?
--Sunlight strikes a leaf;
--Chlorophyll captures light energy;
--Cells use energy to produce sugars and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide.
